STEPHANIE TRICK & PAOLO ALDERIGHI
Acclaimed pianists Stephanie and Paolo are back in town for another exciting
performance featuring their amazing four-hands piano artistry.
Stephanie "has come to practically dominate the stride piano field," notes
reviewer Jack Rummel.
Harlem stride piano, which developed in the 1920s and 30s, is an orchestral
style of two-handed piano playing that not only swings, but it is also
technically demanding and exciting to watch.
